Have you ever seen a Brown Bear? Do you know what they look like? Is this question real or is it just your homework assignment?
Anyway. This is a Brown Bear :
Hello!
Now, this bear has lot of pointy things growing out of it. Do you see these claws?
They’re long, sharp and tough enough to dig through frozen dirt and tree bark.
Here’s a comparison picture with a man’s hand so you can see the size:
Next are it’s teeth :
Big pointy sharp incisors for puncturing flesh and killing things. You can fit your whole head inside there.
The next photo is another comparison photo so you get an idea of the size of a Brown Bear:
If you make it past the claws and teeth you will also find that the fur and skin of a Brown Bear are very thick, up to as much as 8cm thick. A would be predator has to get through all this to even begin to hurt the bear. Bears are also phenomenally strong and their muscle provides yet another layer of protection against attack. They can pick up 220kg seals from the water using their jaws and then carry them ashore to eat. Their jaws, by the way, are powerful enough to bite through 15cm thick trees.
Lastly they are athletic beasts. They can run much faster than the fastest human, around 40mph compared to Usain Bolt’s paltry 27mph, they can climb trees faster than we can and can swim for miles if needed.
Oh and on top of all of that their senses of smell and hearing are far more acute than a human’s so they will generally know if any potential threat is coming.
Brown Bears have no natural predators. They are the top of the food chain.
